Drilling Outboard Mounting Holes
(Electric Start Models)
IMPORTANT: Before drilling any mounting holes, care-
fully read “Determining Recommended Outboard Mo-
tor Mounting Height”, preceding. There is a 3/4 in.
(19mm) difference between outboard mounting holes
in transom bracket.
! WARNING
DO NOT under any circumstances, allow upper out-
board mounting bolts to be closer than 1 in. (25.4mm)
from top of boat transom. Upper mounting bolts must
never be installed thru shims.

drilling outboard mounting holes.
1. Secure (tape) “Outboard Mounting Template” (located
in center of Installation Manual) to outside of boat tran-
som.
2. Align “Top of Boat Transom Line” of template with top
edge of (real) boat transom, not shim(s).
